The 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments all deal with voting rights.
1. The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibits the denial of suffrage based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This amendment granted voting rights to African American men.
2. The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, prohibits the denial of suffrage based on sex. It granted voting rights to women, allowing them to vote in federal elections.
3. The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. It granted the right to vote to individuals aged 18 or older, regardless of the state they reside in, thus addressing concerns about citizens being old enough to be drafted to fight in the Vietnam War but not old enough to vote.
Therefore, all three amendments expand voting rights and address forms of discrimination and inequality in voting.
